Hi Phreinds, Phreaks, and Fone Phanatics!!!
Just thought I'd drop everyone a line from the Sullivan County Community
College Computer Competions and Science Symposium. Whew! I got out of school
just to be here. I came with our Physics and Computer Science teacher.......
`Dr. Bob' Barrett. Right off the bat I'd like to thank `The Cruiser' for making
and letting me use (I actually stole it...) the intro screen. Thanx also to
Jason Scott, Terror, The Works!, Octothorpe, Jolt cola (and diet Pepsi
too),Doritos, My xt and radio, and SCCC's fone lines for helping me write
this little rambling and getting it out to all you poor slobs that
downloaded it (or cheated and typed it).
An advertisement:
If any of you people who are between the ages of 16 and 21 and would like to
learn more about computer programing(BASIC, Pascal, APL, and Assembler),
Electonics and logic design, or CAD/CAM you are welcome to join the IBM
Explorer post in Kingston, New York. The advantages are many because IBM gives
you books (to keep!!!), teaches you, and let's you fool around on their
EXPENSIVE computers for just a small registration fee(about $5). It's
coed and meets Tuesday nights from the second Tues. in Sept. util the
First Tues. in June. The advisors are volunteers and are very helpful
and knowledgible. For additional information call RHOBB at (914)-758-0918
and leave E-mail(name & address) to The Wiz Kid.
Announcements:
Some new boards (well...not `new' new boards) have been poppin' up and I'd
thought I'd pass they're stats on to you...
RHOBB -- Red Hook On-line Bulletin Board (914)-758-0918
24 hrs 1200/2400 baud
IBM using Genesis software
30 meg
Sysops: Grundy Golem (power crazed dictator who alone discourages users
to call and participate...a real nerd)
The Wiz Kid (reletively unseen user that helped start the
board and wrote support text. Well liked by
all and respected -- modest too)
Comments: People have been hacking on to this board since it started.
Pirated software availiblse if you are `liked' by Grungy
(opps..Grundy)
I helped setting up the system and still remain a sysop
although Grundy dropped my access. He refuses to take any of my
advice on how in my oppinion the board should be run ... thus
accounts for some of the non-activity. If you look at the
listing in the Computer Shopper, they put my name down as Sysop
because when they called apparently everything like ansi
screens, goodbye messages, announcements, etc. was written
by me....and most of them still are. Even the Newsletter!
An active Phreak account should be FORECASTER with a password of
DOWJONES. Please don't abuse it and don't get into chat's with
the sysop 'cause he dosen't know that it's a fake. As far as he
knows it's a guy that goes to Dutchess Community College (DCC)
that is taking Pascal in a combo-type course.
Time Warp (914)-876-1004
9pm-5am 300/1200 baud
IBM running Genesis software
10 meg
sysop: Fud (a person that can only be described as a FUD(???))
Comments: Reletively new. Hacker files and programs availible but limited.
Pirated software a big YES.
Lighting hit the fone lines subsequently zapping 128k and melting
his async card. Fud borrowed an async card but still only
operates with 512k. Rumor has it that he had to disconnect the
smoke alarm because it kept going off every time he powered up.
We're taking bets on when the hard drive in the expansion unit
will start smoking.
The Playroom (914)-758-8773
********* CRASHED BY HACKERS AND OFF-LINE FOR GOOD ************
Now that's a shame....a crying shame! It seems that certain people who
were trusted used a backdoor to get sysop status. They apparently were
unfamiliar with the functions and some how crashed the system by
droping to dos and "accidentally" deleting valuable system files. The
operater (Fred Fitte) who is a political figure was outraged and pulled
the board down for good. It was definately the best board in the Red
Hook area.
For those of you who actually bought my band's last album....
The Psychedelic Mushrooms
"Stuck in the Stalls"
stand by for a new release comming this summer!!!!
For those of you who actually haven't heard of us...We're a garage-type,
acid rock band. I play keyboards and backup kazoo. I also do some backup
vocals. we've had smash hits like "Tschkosfsky eats tschit","I got mad at my
sister so I shoved her back up my mother" and the reprise "I got mad at my
girlfriend so I bit her tit off","Stuck in the Stalls","Chainsaw Messiah",
and many more.
Jason, did I ever tell you I know Missy Gold personally???
You're right......she is the Anti-Christ! Actually she's a nice girl(choke).
Her mother on the other hand...
Her mother got married a while back to some kind of director and that's how
Missy and her sister got started in TV. Her mother is a real bitch. She
didn't even go to her own father's funeral. She also didn't go when Missy's
cousin got ordained a priest (in Red Hook!!). Missy has her liscence now.
I'll have to go Calf. sometime and see her. I've got a friend out there named
Kevin McCarthy (26) who been selling Porches and Mercedes for about 3 or 4
years now. $16,000 for a demo model!! He was up at Lake George about 2 years
ago and burned out the clutch on a Porche racing it. $2000 for a
replacement! His brother Mike got crippled for life in a motorcycle
accident. He was flung over a 1000 feet!
SCCC has a pretty good wide band transmission cable that connects all the
sections of the campus. It's not super-fast but it's effiecient (and easily
accessible to Phreaks). It took me a while to figure out a password to get
access to the mainframes fones. I had to do some trashing in the business
office. The guys in the competion let me use their computer with a cluster
adapter to get on line. A little `borrowing' of an IBM VM program for the PC
and presto...we're in business.
Well time is running out and I don't want to get caught so I'm off
and I'll get a real good rambling going one of these days and upload it.
until then..
Later Dudes!
The Wiz Kid
